A powerful narcotic floral aromachemical with a strong hyacinth and narcissus character, backed by earthy, phenolic, slightly animalic-green facets. In dilution it opens up into a lush white-floral effect reminiscent of tuberose and jonquil, while in concentration it reads dark, indolic and slightly medicinal.AI · claude-opus-4-7
